Catalyze: Product Definition Medical Device Prototype Optimization (R33 - Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is seeking applications for the Catalyze: Product Definition initiative, which aims to support the development of medical device prototypes for the treatment of heart, lung, and blood diseases. This initiative will provide funding for prototype testing and design modification, assay development, and research tool development. The goal is to transition basic science discoveries into viable diagnostic and therapeutic candidates. Key aspects of the job include: • Developing medical device prototypes • Conducting prototype testing and design modification • Developing assays for diagnostic disease targets • Creating research tools for the treatment of heart, lung, and blood diseases • Preparing products for in vivo testing and potential further support from NIH or other programs.
